Lapland Longspur - Rye Habor SP (Ragged Neck), Rockingham Co., NH. October 24th, 2016.
One of two birds feeding at our feet - literally!
Last October I had the pleasure of guiding a small group of Brits around a few of the New England states. We began on the New Hampshire coast where our first full day in the field just happened to coincide with the passage of a cold front resulting in a cool day with blustery NW winds. Our day was highlighted by a broad range of species observed in beautiful fall sunlight, and all against the backdrop of the picturesque New Hampshire coast. Thanks to Robert Carr, Pete Lansdown, and Peter & Margaret Ward for sharing such a wonderfully rewarding day.
Brant (pale-bellied) - Hampton Beach SP, Rockingham Co., NH. October 24th, 2016.
Semi-palmated Plovers - Hampton Beach SP, Rockingham Co., NH. October 24th, 2016.
Pine Warbler (first-winter) - North Hampton Beach SP, Rockingham Co., NH. October 24th, 2016.
Cooper's Hawk (juv/first-winter) - North Hampton Beach SP, Rockingham Co., NH. October 24th, 2016.
Yellow-rumped Warbler - North Hampton Beach SP, Rockingham Co., NH. October 24th, 2016.
Wilson's Snipe (presumed) - Rye Habor SP (Ragged Neck), Rockingham Co., NH. October 24th, 2016.
Doesn't really get better than this in terms of views of a snipe but aside from range and distribution is
it really possible to rule out Common Snipe (Gallinago gallinago)?
Rough-legged Hawk (light morph) - Rye/North Hampton townline, Rockingham Co., NH. October 24th, 2016.
Nice pick-up by Pete Lansdown. High flying migrant drifting south over the open ocean.
In view for quite a while but never came close enough to shore for images.
One of the least expected birds of the day.
